Yea Brookville didn't play bad at all. LCA just played that well that night. No one would have beat them that night. It's too bad for LCA that it wasn't the state championship game because they would have definitely won it that night. It's gonna be hard to replicate that same energy two weeks in a row.
Actually i just read about that on i think channel 10 sports. However the article lead me to believe it came from both sides.
OH! I'm sure!!!!!
A lot of transfers whether college or high school think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence instead of watering the grass where they are at. Sometimes it is greener but a lot of times..it is not.
And LCA did a lot of talk as well when they beat some Seminole teams, They act the same way trust me
Like I said. I have no doubt.
Propst is the worst of the worst..just plain bad man. No clue why people keep hiring him, he may not find another job after this.Hmmm this is intresting.
Valdosta fined, stripped of wins, banned for 2021 playoffs
High school football powerhouse Valdosta was stripped of seven wins in 2020 and banned for the 2021 postseason for allegedly participating in a pay-for-play scheme orchestrated by its head coachwww.northwestgeorgianews.com
Is that what you're telling these kids to get them to come to LCA? Sounds like you have it down pretty good!
@lyhsports is an EC Glass supporter and also follows Heritage closely. As his name would indicate he's a Lynchburg supporter. If he suspected wrongdoing I believe he would be crying foul as Glass & Heritage would be most affected by their actions.
If I barked up the wrong tree, I apologize. After reading his comments in this thread, it just seemed as though lyhsports was in support of LCA and their recent success. Somebody is out there selling the pipe dream to these young men and their families. This travel ball/transfer portal world in which we live is altering our athletes in so many ways, and it's frustrating to see those that are responsible have success. Hoping Heritage wins and wins big!
In many cases, these are winning teams that quality players are transferring from. Heritage, Northside, Amherst, Jefferson Forest and EC Glass to name a few. And, yes I agree 100%, outwork and out-execute your opponents, but do it with the group you grew up with. The culture glorifies leaving to join a championship team instead of building and growing the team you have. The current NCAA open transfer policy will destroy programs for years to come and high school athletes are following suit. When players don't get their way, pick up your ball and go somewhere else. They are taking the path of least resistance in many cases and what lessons are they learning from it? It's easier to transfer over here and play with these D1 studs and maybe I can get recruited too. The pipe dream I'm referring to is that many of these kids think they are potential D1 players too, when they probably won't even see the field and should have stayed where they were. That cripples the teams they left, and as a result helps the team they transferred to.
You are correct. When they were 4-A, their zone was all of Lynchburg, and when they dropped to 3A, it was only the Heritage zone. Brookville is a Campbell county school, but only a few miles from Heritage.
A player that leaves a winning team either wants to get more playing time, the ball more, or has some issue with the program/coach. Many winning programs don’t lose their best players rather supplemental pieces that go see if they are who they think they are, in some cases these individuals do pan out and in others they become the same as what they were or a pine rider. The kids I grow up with might not be able to make me better so I should hinder my growth instead of blossoming? There’s multiple angles to examine when discussing why a kid leaves a winning program versus a kid leaving a losing one, we can go in detail but I’ll spare the time and assume we agree on this. It’s not just taking a path of least resistance sometimes it’s doing what makes common sense, when you don’t like your current job you go explore options to get a new one, sometimes it requires relocating completely others just a different place in same area. I feel kids aren’t making the decision the parents ultimately do in regards to they have to sign off on it. I don’t think it’s a trend I think it’s a reality of giving autonomy over ones decision, I recruited you here until there’s a new shinier better recruit here and you slide down, or my coach left and now I’m subject to the new staff etc, this just balances the pendulum back into the players hands over their athletic career
I’m not an LCA fan or supporter but Coach Rocco and the LCA program has long produced players that have had success at the college and pro level. @lyhsports was spot on in his reason why kids transfer there. It’s an easy Choi for parents too because LCA has a very rigorous academic program as well. It’s no pipe dream with them.
I can’t speak for other transfers but #6 transferred for academic reasons. He’s only a sophomore and he played sparingly on Jv at Glass as a freshman. He didn’t expect to be a starter and earn an athletic scholarship immediately or something crazy. In his case, the grass was greener from an academic standpoint.
